--- Comment #18 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
OP wants us to follow Microsoft convention, our implementation was not theirs
and our <Shift>+Click multi-selection is functional.

There is no imperative to adopt Microsoft's solutions, especially if they can
not be demonstrated to be more effective. This isn't, and frankly our user
community comes more from the non-Microsoft centric Drawing application world
where Illustrator, PhotoShop, Corel Draw/Paint, Inkscape, GIMP all use a
<Shift>+click multi selection.

While adding a <Ctrl> based multi-select might be a nice to implement user
customization--it in no way represents what should be a default.  As noted,
implementation of an option would require substantial rework of the
control--not worth it.

Oh, and by the way the Microsoft multi-selection implementation on macOS uses
<Shift>--not <Command>, (nor <Ctrl>).

IMHO => WF is the correct resolution.
